Wedding bells are yet to ring in Kirinyaga County.
Love and romance has clouded Kirinyaga county as the Honorable Governor Anne Waiguru got hooked with her long time rumored fiancee.
Who is the lucky dude?
Fine. Our reliable source states that the industrious governor got engaged to city lawyer Kamotho Waiganjo who proposed to her a few weeks ago at the lavish Lord Erroll Hotel in Runda, Nairobi.
“I was completely surprised. We had not been talking about formalizing our relationship so I did not expect it. We had just come from holidays and were celebrating his birthday as we do with close friends every year.” Waiguru disclosed the development.
On 16th February, the love-birds performed a traditional Kikuyu ceremony just two days after Valentine’s – in Kiamungo, Kirinyaga county with family and invited guests present.
“It was a beautiful ceremony. The time was right for us to take our relationship to the next level,” Kamotho was quoted.
According to customs, Kamotho had already paid dowry, for the locked gate to be opened and identified her among women who had covered themselves.
The two are planning to have a formal wedding soon, but have not set a date yet.
Kamotho, who is former commissioner for the Commission for Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), recalled that they met in Mombasa 10 years ago when they had gone for a retreat.
Kamotho was a team leader and Waiguru had been sent to advise them on the public finance chapter.
He disclosed that he was smitten by her demeanor and pursued her. He asked her out on a date and she obliged. However, that was the scene of their first fight.
“She was on the phone the whole time. I had to ask her why she was not paying attention to our date,” he stated.
On her part, Waiguru explained that at the time her work life and personal life were inseparable.
“We later agreed that when we are together and with family, phones are kept aside unless it is completely necessary. I am not doing badly nowadays,” she said.
